Louise Hay affirmation:   “Every person I meet today is a mirror of some part of me.”

Inspiration exercise from 365 Daily Creativity Journal:  Work with an advertisement to make it something different.

Media:  Scrapbook paper, Magazine and catalog photos, Mod Podge

Time:   1H

Comments:  The background images on today's collage are taken from a Global Views catalog (left side) and a magazine ad for Maharam digitally printed textiles (right).  The bands of color represent every person I meet today.  And the chickens are a subtle hint to remember that everyone has fears that they carry into those meetings.  

Day 265 Woolen temples

Day 265 Woolen temples

Louise Hay affirmation:   “My body is a precious temple.”

Inspiration exercise from 365 Daily Creativity Journal:   Make a unique miniature golf hole in your home or outside and play it.

Media:  Magazine photos, Mod Podge

Time:  1H

Comments:  Today's collage features several woolly sheep roaming around on this golf course.  

Designers usually have a special fondness for wool textiles.  Not only are they naturally fire retardant, but they are also rapidly renewable resources, they breathe, accept dyes nicely, and they have a nice 'hand' compared to some of the newer laboratory fibers that are used in interior design and furnishings today.  

What a versatile and valuable fur coat these dear creatures are able to share with us!  Precious temples each and every one.

Day 230 Potter's wheel

Day 230 Potter's wheel

Louise Hay affirmation:   “I know that only good awaits me at every turn.”

Inspiration exercise from 365 Daily Creativity Journal:   Make a container, such as a bowl, bottle, cup, or box.

Media:  Ledger paper, Catalog photos, Mod Podge

Time:  1H

Comments:  The containers in today's collage are mostly Global Views catalog images.  I love their vases and glassware.  

Though the potter's wheel in the collage is probably not making something as refined as the Global Views vases, it still knows that something good awaits at every turn of the wheel.  

Life, sometimes, feels like a rough clay bowl turned on a potter's wheel past the lessons we need to keep learning (till we finally get it), then fired by trials... to eventually end up as a highly refined, and beautiful vessel for good.  I know that good awaits.

Day 26 Seeing all sides

10/26/12

Louise Hay affirmation: “It is with flexibility and ease that I see all sides of an issue. There are endless ways of doing things and seeing things. I am safe.” (neck problems)

Day 26 Seeing all sides

 

Inspiration exercise from 365 Daily Creativity Journal: Make something portable (or that seems portable) that normally isn’t.

Media: Magazine and catalog photos, foam core, glue stick. 

Time: 1H

Comments:  The colorful images here, with their play on perspective, seem to speak to the idea of endless ways of seeing and doing.  The faceted images of superheroes and other elements communicate the ability to see all sides.  And for portability, my favorite eggs on feet  from Global Views walking onto the breakfast table.
